THE  LIBRARY  SCHOOLS  AND  TRAINING  CLASSES  OF  THE  UNITED  STATES. 
There  are  at  present  six  library  schools  in  the  | economy  and  bibliography  is  now  given  in  sev- 


United  States  : the  New  York  State  Library 
School,  the  pioneer  and  leader;  the  library 
school  of  Pratt  Institute,  Brooklyn;  that  of  the 
Los  Angeles  Public  Library;  that  of  the  Drexel 
Institute,  Philadelphia  ; that  conducted  by  Ar- 
mour Institute,  Chicago;  and  that  of  the  Denver 
Public  Library.  The  summer  school  of  library 
economy  conducted  at  Amherst  by  Mr.  Fletcher 
should  also  be  added  to  the  list,  and  brings  the 
total  number  up  to  seven.  With  the  exception 
of  the  New  York  State  Library  School,  none  of 
these  schools  are  more  than  four  years  old. 
The  Pratt  Institute  library  classes  were  begun 
in  October,  1890,  those  of  the  Los  Angeles 
Public  Library  in  October,  189T,  the  Drexel  In- 
stitute course  was  opened  in  September,  1892, 
and  those  of  Armour  Institute  and  of  the  Denver 
Public  Library  were  inaugurated  in  September, 
1893. 

An  exhibit  of  the  work  accomplished  by  these 
centres  of  library  training  cannot  fail  to  be  of 
general  interest.  Such  an  exhibit  is  here  pre- 
sented in  the  simplest  and  most  effective  man- 
ner, by  giving  the  complete  roster  of  the  stu- 
dents at  the  various  schools  from  the  beginning, 
with  the  positions  they  have  held  and  are  now 
holding  in  the  library  profession.  A roster  of 
this  sort  affords  a more  practical  demonstration 
of  what  has  been  done  in  this  field  of  library 
work  than  could  be  given  by  the  closest  analysis 
of  the  technical  details  of  each  particular  library 
school. 

We  append  the  register  of  the  New  York  State 
Library  School  from  its  beginning,  including  all 
matriculated  students.  This  is  followed  by  the 
roster  of  the  other  schools,  arranged  in  the 
order  of  their  establishment.  A short  account 
of  the  Amherst  summer  school  of  library  econ- 
omy is  also  included  ; but  the  list  of  Amherst 
students  is  not  given,  as  the  course  is  of  short 
duration,  there  are  no  diplomas  or  gradua- 
tions, and  most  of  those  taking  it  are  already 
engaged  in  library  work. 

Details  as  to  the  instruction,  or  the  division 
or  arrangement  of  studies  are  not  included. 
The  main  features  of  the  course  are  familiar  to 
librarians,  and  though  there  may  be  minor  dif- 
ferences and  variations  in  the  different  schools, 
the  essential  features  are  the  same  in  all. 

Besides  the  schools  noted  in  the  appended 
lists,  instruction,  more  or  less  detailed,  in  library 


eral  colleges.  Such  a course  has  been  included 
in  the  curriculum  of  Colorado  College  for  the 
past  two  years;  at  Amherst  College  there  are 
lectures  on  bibliography  and  the  use  of  the 
library  ; Bowdoin  College,  the  University  of 
California,  Cornell  University,  Iowa  State  Col- 
lege, and  the  University  of  Michigan  have  simi- 
lar courses  of  lectures;  Wellesley  College  offers 
an  elective  course  in  bibliography  of  an  hour  a 
week  for  a year;  and  Maine  State  College  has 
recently  included  a course  in  library  economy  in 
its  curriculum.  These  courses  are  not  included 
in  the  list  of  regular  schools,  as  they  are  gen- 
erally associated  with  other  studies,  and  do  not 
offer  independent  practical  library  training.

record  of  library  training  classes. 

Date  of  organization  — Oct.  1,  1890. 

Entrance  examination  — On  general  informa- 
tion. 

75  per  cent,  for  entrance. 

75  per  cent,  and  satisfactory  three  months’ 
apprenticeship  for  final. 

Average  age  of  pupils  — 22  years. 

Length  of  course  — Nine  months,  including 
apprenticeship. 

A student  taking  the  course  in  two  years  in- 
stead of  one,  i.e. , graduating  in  cataloging  one 
year  and  in  training  the  next,  is  counted  twice 
in  the  schedule,  so  that  there  were  not  actually 
as  many  persons  as  there  were  graduates. 

The  first  class,  1890-91,  included  22  pupils 
(14  in  cataloging,  seven  in  library  economy,  one 
in  both  courses),  of  whom  one  was  dropped  from 
the  rolls  for  illness  and  one  failed,  leaving  20 
graduates,  of  whom  15  have  had  positions. 
The  second  class,  1891-92,  included  23  pupils 
(seven  in  cataloging,  nine  in  library  training, 
seven  in  both  courses),  of  whom  three  were 
dropped  from  the  rolls  two  failed,  and  of  the  18 
graduates  15  have  had  positions.  The  third 
class,  1892-93,  numbered  but  19  pupils  (three 
in  cataloging,  two  in  library  economy,  and  14  in 
both  courses),  and  of  these  but  one  failed,  while 
of  the  18  graduates  14  have  had  positions.  The 
fourth  class,  1893-94,  is  the  largest  yet  record- 
ed, including  31  pupils  (eight  in  cataloging, 
three  in  library  economy,  and  20  in  both 
courses),  of  whom  three  were  dropped  from  the 
rolls,  three  failed,  and  25  have  graduated. 
None  of  these  students  have  obtained  positions, 
as  their  course  is  not  yet  completed.

RECORD  OF  LIBRARY  TRAINING  CLASSES. 
Organized,  October,  1892. 

Entrance  examinations,  on  general  informa- 
tion, are  held  in  May  and  September. 

“ Instruction  is  in  the  form  of  talks  or  lect- 
ures, with  practical  work  under  supervision,  and 
includes  two  sides  of  library  work — the  technical 
and  the  literary,  or  bibliographical.  In  the  lit- 
erary side  we  include  a course  in  the  history  of 
English  literature,  studies  in  modern  European 
authors,  reference  work,  and  bibliography.  A 
special  course  of  lectures  on  bibliography  and 
libraries  was  given  by  eminent  specialists  during 
the  second  term,  and  was  open  fre>e  to  the  gen- 
eral public.  In  the  schedule  for  next  year  we 
have  added  a series  of  talks  on  current  events, 
by  the  professor  of  economics  of  the  institute, 
which  will  include  a survey  of  the  literature  of 
social  science  and  economics.”

DENVER  (COLO.)  PUBLIC  LIBRARY. 

RECORD  OF  LIBRARY  TRAINING  CLASSES. 

Organized  September,  1893,  with  five  stu- 
dents. 

Course  covered  four  hours’  work  per  day  until 
June,  1894.  Visits  were  made  to  binderies, 
paper-mills,  etc.,  and  examination  was  held  in 
June.  One  student  had  previously  left  to  con- 
tinue school-work,  and  one  had  left  to  become 
librarian  and  curator  of  books  and  geological 
collection  of  Colorado  Scientific  Society.  The 
three  remaining  were  appointed  to  positions  in 
the  library. 

The  second  (1894-95)  course  is  limited  to  six 
students,  and  instruction  will  be  given  on  more 
systematic  lines.  Competitive  examinations  are 
held,  on  general  information,  ard  pupils  are 
selected  in  order  of  their  standing.  Preference 
is  given  to  applicants  who  are  over  17  and  un- 
der 21  years  of  age.  “ It  is  desired  that  all 
pupils  should  have  had  such  an  education  as  is 
implied  in  the  possession  of  a high  school  di- 
ploma, but  this  is  not  essential.  The  class  will 
be  expected  to  give  five  hours  per  day  to  work 
in  the  library  for  nine  months.  At  the  end  of 
that  time  they  will  take  a second  examination, 
on  the  result  of  which,  and  on  the  character  of 
the  work  done  during  the  year,  appropriate 
certificates  will  be  issued  to  them  by  the  library. 
They  will  then  be  given  the  preference  in  the 
selection  of  paid  assistants  needed  in  the  library. 
The  course  for  the  nine  months  will  cover  prac- 
tical work  in  the  several  departments  in  the  li- 
brary, and  will  include  also  instruction  in  classes 
conducted  by  the  librarian  and  his  assistants.”
